One civil servant, identified as Tunde, on Thursday, June 11, slumped and died at government secretariat in Osogbo, just as workers continue to protest unpaid salaries.
The deceased who was a night watchman with Osun State government was said to have died following his inability to buy food and drugs due to non payment of his salary for seven months.
Tunde, attached to the Auditor-general’s Office was said to be on night duty when he collapsed and died at his duty post.
Reports said that the man who hailed from Modakeke may have died due to his failure to take his usual drugs for the management of an undisclosed illness.
The incident drew the attention of staff of Auditor-General’s office where the man worked but all efforts to rescue him proved abortive.
It however took the effort of men of Nigeria Police Force and Civil Defence Corps to evacuate the corpse with hundreds of sympathizers on hand.
